Wow. That seems like a lot. BTW, Eric, in my opinion, you can't compare FedEx White Glove with Panther Elite...Different rules/standards...etc.between the two companies. Added: I only added the statement about differences, because when initially reading your post, I did not know if you were...

HowStuffWorks "How Wal-Mart Works" So what is the deal with Wal-Mart and outsourcing? You may have heard that Wal-Mart sends manufacturing jobs overseas, but also remember that Wal-Mart once touted a "Buy America" campaign. Here's how the discrepancy sorts out. In 1985, Walton launched a...

Good post and great chart! It shocks me at the number of people out here running that don't know what it cost to run their truck per mile. I have talked to people and they say "oh, we average $3.00 a mile"...and I usually reply, "wow, is that INCLUDING dead head?" Then I hear, "No..what do you...

keekeeboo: I don't know one thing about Bolt and probably will never know anything Bolt...BUT I have learned one thing about attempting to stay at a carrier you have started off on the wrong foot with. We had a very brief experience with another carrier after Con-Way Now sold out. We found...

You know...I was just thinking, didn't Wal-Mart originally profess to carrying 'only' products of U.S.A.? I mean when they first started? Prior to them being being a giant conglomerate? I can't remember, I may have to go look this up in "the files."

No, didn't look it up. Our son thinks Wal-Mart is equivalent to the anti-Christ...so I am well documented on the status of Wal-Mart. :rolleyes:

For what it is worth, my answer would be, yes. I think it would be a great idea for the FedEx extranet site to host something. I think it could turn into a legal logistical nightmare to attempt it on EO. I believe that EO has a copyright---as well as FedEx...I think when two or more entities...

Nice posts in FedEx section. :)

If you want a cheap, quick, and easy window covering for a truck... We use SUPER jumbo pop up sun shields you can buy at Wal-Mart for about $9. They install in seconds and fold up just as quick. They fold up small and flat for easy storage. [I must admit it took me a few seconds to learn how...

As I read it, the Council is not a true council in the literal sense. It is comprised of contractors that were hand picked by the: 1. FedEx Leadership team---a group of people I personally am not familiar with 2. FedEx personnel at meet and greets---which many of us can not, or do not...

Don't forget to include what the thought police have found out too too, Ken...:)

Thank you for relaying Terry’s explanation of the Council. Your post has definitely answered some questions and concerns I have had about several issues. Everything is much clearer to me now. The only questions I have left are who chose you to be on this council, how many members comprise...

I am curious as to where we find out about feedback or who asks for feedback? Aside from a few automated surveys I don't ever recall being asked for feedback? I also don't ever remember anyone calling us on the phone asking us our opinion on anything. You are right, we don't know if...

The FedEx Driver Council 1. Who is on this council? Contractors and drivers? Trucks? Vans? 2. How are they selected? Using what criteria? 3. How does a driver/contractor contact these people? 4. What input to they have with regard to contracts, policy decisions, etc.? 5. How often do...

According to FedEx the Four Star Program is a yearly program designed to reward those contractors who have excelled in service, safety, availability, and load acceptance. 98 percent or greater pickup and delivery No preventable accidents At least 70 percent availability At least 70 percent...

Frankly, the “load opportunity” system has not affected us as adversely as it has our friends in surface expedite. As you know, we are driving a DR White Glove unit with TVAL certification for a fleet owner and our dealings with the dispatch system are different because we DO have special...
